Anti Tesla petition going around the 6

Dear Friends,

I just signed the petition: Toronto: End Tesla's nonconsensual test trials because:

On November 24th, Tesla expanded it's beta test of "full self-driving" software to everyone in North America. [1]

Just hours later, a six-car pileup on the Bay Bridge was caused by a Tesla suddenly stopping; two people were hospitalized. [2]

Tesla's misleadingly named "full self-driving" feature - which is not full self-driving at all, but rather requires human override at all times - is still in beta testing, meaning it is *not* market ready. In fact, the US Department of Justice is investigating Tesla over its misleading claims. [3]

And now everyone in Toronto is an unknowing participant in Elon Musk's safety trials.

Tesla previously forbid "full self-driving" within Toronto because it would not recognize streetcars picking up or dropping off passengers. When asked by the CBC how this flaw had been fixed, Tesla did not provide an answer. [4]

Recent tests in October also showed that Tesla's falsely-named "full self-driving" will not recognize school busses with stop signs extended and will drive around them, even when children are crossing the street. [5]

Toronto streets are already too dangerous for pedestrians, transit riders, cyclists, and drivers alike. Elon Musk is free to test out his "full self-driving" software - but he needs to do it on closed courses, or places where people have consciously opted-in to be participants.

We did not sign up to be Elon Musk's guinea pigs. It's time to ban Tesla's "full self-driving" until it completes the relevant beta testing and can demonstrate a safety record that actually makes our streets safer.

Yes...but also, Hitler and Nazi's actually happened there. To us it's largely academic, shit that we can see on the history channel. To them, they're still finding unexploded ordinance in farmer's fields to this day. Europeans tend to be a bit more sensitive towards the damage that speech can cause.

I read that rant earlier. Some good points of course, but it's embarrassing overall. At one point Seth refers to a tweet or meme that was most likely posted as a joke as Nazism. Comes across as a little #Unhinged.

I mean Seth is likely a bit over the top but as a globalist I am legit scared by the mainstreaming of Nazi rhetoric, which is in my view 100% happening and being aided abd abetted by Elon.
 
You joke, but there are many morons and impressionable weaklings out there looking for places to direct their anger or ignorance, and the Jews have historically been a popular option. You don't already need to be on the road to anti-semitism to have some public figure like Kanye to inspire you to take up fucked up causes.
